Internships

College Internships

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Zoombezi Bay and Safari Golf Club sponsor annual paid and unpaid internship opportunities for college students throughout the year. We also partner with conservation organizations in the community that provide internships so  you can often find information about those opportunities right here as well. Many of our internships are available during the summer but other opportunities may occur throughout the year since positions available vary depending on department needs. See below for a list of current positions available.

We will have various internship opportunities in 2012. Positions will not all be posted at once so please check back for the most current openings.

The Human Resources Department administers the Zoo's Internship program but interns will report directly to individual supervisors in the various departments. We do not provide housing for our interns. It is the responsibility of the intern to arrange and pay for housing and all other associated costs of living for the duration of the internship. All positions will remain open until filled.

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
